History

“Thinking ahead together. Combined expertise: Casaton becomes Tegum.”

On January 1, 2026, Casaton AG was fully integrated into Tegum AG. Tegum is therefore the legal successor to both long-standing companies. The merger brings expertise, market presence and logistics together under one roof and strengthens the service promise to all customers.

Higher availability, an expanded product range, faster service and a strong internal and field sales team make the new Tegum AG an even more reliable partner for the whole of Switzerland.

In 2004, Tegum AG moved from Angst+Pfister in Zurich to Frauenfeld, the headquarters of the Janico Group. The new location centralized logistics, administration and sales – an important step towards greater efficiency and closer customer proximity.

On January 1, 2003, Tricon AG and Tegum AG merged using the legal shell of Tricon AG, while retaining the established and well-known market name “Tegum AG”. This step created clear structures, bundled resources and strengthened the company’s market position.

As part of a strategic realignment, Janico Holding AG acquired the company’s share capital. The buyer was the former Tricon AG, creating the basis for the company’s further development and future direction.

Since 1967, the company has distributed technical products for construction and commercial horticulture. As part of a succession arrangement and for strategic reasons, Tegum AG was later offered for sale.

In 1963, the company was acquired by Angst+Pfister AG in Zurich. This acquisition enabled a broader orientation, the expansion of product diversity and the modernization of processes and structures.

Our company was founded in 1956, laying the foundation for a long and successful development as a specialized supplier of technical products for construction, trade and gardening. From the very beginning, our commitment to quality, reliability and customer proximity was clearly evident.
